I can't think he'll stay here, as the Royal Lodge is a pretty important race (thus he's a viable contender for the English Classics) and there are absolutely no races of consequence for him in the U.S. until the Derby undercard race.

Of course, a cool plan would be to target the Blue Grass over the winter, and if he flops there reroute to the turf race instead of the Kentucky Derby.

What did you think of Crusade's race? I guess the jock thought he ran "like a sprinter" as he made an interesting advance down the backstretch before flattening out down the stretch. He's by a dirt sprinter out of a dirt sprint filly so I would presume he's more likely to stay here or return permanently. As far as I could tell, his Group 1 race wasn't highly rated and he was a big longshot when he won.
